Graves, badly bruised and hurt internally, at Moberly hospital; Minnie Graves, cut and bruised, now in Moberly hospital; Tom Tate, badly injured but will recover. His wife was terribly injured, but is still living. Their son Leon has bad cut on top of his head. All are at hospital in Moberly. This list of injured list only those of who were from La Plata and vicinity. Many more were injured, some from Macon, Bevier, Brashear, and Kirksville. A gloom was cast over La Plata Friday afternoon when word reached here that the Wabash passenger train, carrying 44 people from La Plata and vicinity to St. Louis, had been wrecked near Warrenton, Missouri. Later information conveyed the sad news that several were killed and many injured- some dangerously. In the list of killed were Mrs. G.H. Graves of La Plata, Mrs. George Curtis of near La Plata and Edna Patterson, the eleven year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Ed Patterson of Elmer. The list of injured, which is given above, includes nearly every person from here that was aboard the ill-fated train. The wreck occurred near Warrenton, Missouri, about 1:30 p.m., and the cause of the wreck is not known. Passengers on the train say it was running at a terrific speed when the accident happened. The La Plata people were most all in the rear coach. The coach and the dining car were the only cars that left the rails. The dining car went off to the left of the track and the rear coach to the right. The coach in which the La Plata people were went down a 40-foot embankment, and turned once and a half over before it stopped. This car was literally torn to pieces, and how so many escaped death is almost a miracle. Immediately after the wreck the injured were taken to Warrenton where medical aid was rendered to all, and then they were moved either to St. Louis or Moberly. Persons who were on the train say the scene at the wreck was terrible. The killed and wounded were strewn everywhere, and the cries of the victims were heartrending. This terrible happening has cast a gloom over La Plata, and every train has been met by hundreds of sorrowing relatives and friends of the ones in the wreck, receiving them on their arrival with tenderness and care. The bodies of Mrs. G.H. Graves, Mrs. Curtis and Edna Patterson arrived in La Plata last night. Mrs. Graves was taken to her home; Mrs. Curtis was taken to the home of her brother, C.W. Griffin, and Edna Patterson was taken to the home of Mr. & Mrs. J.C. Goodding, and was sent to Elmer this morning for burial. Mrs. Curtis will be buried probably Friday afternoon, but definite arrangements had not been made at the time of going to press. Mrs. Graves' funeral was preached this morning at the Community Presbyterian Church and the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the La Plata Cemetery. It was a sad funeral made doubly so from the fact that the husband and daughter were so badly injured that neither could leave the hospital to attend. La Plata is in mourning today on account of this terrible accident. Many are heartbroken over the loss of a relative or friend. May a merciful God console the bereaved. LA PLATA HOME PRESS, La Plata, Missouri, Thursday, Sept. 15, 1904 The funeral of Mrs. Harriet A. Curtis was preached Friday, Sept. 9, at the Community Presbyterian Church by Rev. G.E. Edwards and the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the La Plata Cemetery. One son, two brothers, two sisters, and a host of other relatives and friends are left to mourn her death. The Home Press extends it's most sincere sympathy to the bereaved relatives.5 |
